Anybody run?

Running? I'd rather chew on a lit flare.

There are a few ways to get your heart hammering out of your throat. Getting cornered by a big, angry dog, being in a knife fight, or just getting threatened with a knife, being shot at, or again, being threatened, getting in a bar fight without back up. I'm sure there are others but these have worked well for me.

 

You sure make running seem more worthwhile to those activities

 

Does running to the bathroom count?

 

A scene from Monte Walsh comes to mind.

 

Nice work. If I may ask, how young are you?

 

Hi, I like to run in the mornings and was wondering if anyone here has a similar routine. I’m thinking about getting my CDL to start a new career in OTR trucking and trying to get a sense of what my daily life would be like. 10 hours doesn’t sound like much time to get squeeze in a run with all the other things like sleep, shower , bathroom and so on. Can I still earn a living and keep a job say for instance if I sometimes only work 12 hours a day?

There’s also the issue of where to run.
Do most OTR truckers park at truck or rest stops for the night? I’m aware that truckers sometimes park along the roads in cities but wasn’t sure if that’s usually not the case most nights. My brief stays at truck and rest stops leads me to believe they are less than ideal places to run and would get old quickly.

 

That's great. I'm slowly trying to get back into it. I just got home after a 7-week trip, so I'm going to take 3 weeks off. I used to do a 6-minute mile in my heyday. We shall see. A great alternative to running is jumping rope at high intensity. It torches fat and is easier on your joints. Long-distance running (at a slow and steady pace) actually cannibalizes your muscle mass.
